Segment of local history in everyone of your clips are so informative and interesting. I realize they take time to research, time to compile, and lots of experience to bring them to us. Gracias Amigo This segment includes many chain or franchise outlets. Very insightful. Answered a lot of questions. TQ
4:10 Heap Seng Leong is the oldest traditional Hainanese coffeeshop in Singapore and it is unique because the premise and the food preparation are still exactly unchanged. As it was near the immigration building, I used to have my breakfast there before getting my matters sorted. In recent years, I have not been able to patronise because their popularity shot up after being featured in mainstream media. Then all the influencers featured them so nowadays many youngsters go there, take photos and post on their social media. I don’t even know if they actually eat the food. The owner and staff are very old but unfortunately I do not see any successor being groomed. Fortunately the many coffee shops and drink stalls at hawker centres all serve such traditional breakfast set. We should also be thankful for the franchising of many such old names. Other than the Killiney brand you mentioned, the others are Ya Kun, ToastBox etc. This kind of traditional Hainanese breakfast should be a UNESCO World Heritage, jointly by Malaysia & Singapore.
Always enjoy yr videos ! I agree , most of the kopitiam have switch butter with margarine which spoils the taste. It really difficult to find old proper kopitiam , we just have to get use to the retails / chain kopitiam instead
Thanks Elmo for your makan tips in PJ area and this help to settle my makan place during my stay in coming months. I do like Ipoh Sun Yuan Loong Kopitiam but I prefer Taiping Yut Sun restaurant. The Taiping Yut Sun hainan kopitam definitely offer an must better atmosphere. I'm always get to enjoy very much with the people, the environment and of course the hainan chicken chop their signature dish every time I visit. Do re-visit again.
Elmo, I really don’t understand all these comments about background music and criticism about how bad the episode etc is! These people shouldn’t be watching your videos if they are so unappreciative. They have nothing good to say. I’m sorry you have such people watching your videos after all the efforts you have put in. Don’t be discouraged as the majority find your videos to be very good and informative. I actually keep note of the places you recommend
almost all except 1 kopitiam is chain store. Was hoping to see more of Chungkok Kopitiam. those family run singular one. e.g. Yuk Kee but that is in KL.
It's unfortunate that Chong Kok's lady boss passed away recently due to covid. She will be missed ! On the topic of kopitiam, I have permanently boycotted Kluang Station as they served me 2 bad half boiled eggs few yrs back. And they didnt take my complaint seriously
Was hoping you can recommend those like Chong Kok and not those franchise outlets. By choice I would not go franchise outlets but Old Town an exception when at the airport Couple I can think of is Wing Heng Sing (Jalan Imbi) and Yut Kee Restaurant. A lot of the Kopitiam owners seems to make money from the monthly rental to the various stall owners and from drinks made by foreign workers. Cannot even make decent toasts and half boiled eggs anymore. (Maybe not profitable?) How about your recommendations for Roast Duck next eg Loong Foong and Sunrise (SEA Park), Champion Duck (Medan Putra), Sun Meng Kee (Tman Connaught) Sze Ngan Chai (Kepong) Not always the same for char siew and roast pork. Keep up the good work esp your intro commentary.
Thanks lin as I've explained there aren't good old school kopitiam left that's well franchise outlets were feature. But u can't deny they preserved the legacy of the trade
Love this video, Mr Lee! Hope your financial situation improves soon. 💪I'm sure this has already been pointed out - background music is a little too loud. Your narration is good enough...no need for background music :)
@@malaysiafood328 don't be sorry, Mr Lee. It was just a suggestion. I really enjoyed this video (Kaya toast yum!) and always love your narration in all your videos. 😍
Surprised to see the heap seng leong ah pek featured at a few parts.. hope Google is able to at least cover your expenses for each topical feature video
I love the historical background you give for the food in review. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I think Kopitiam in shopping centres or modern looking ones takes away the ambience of an old kopitiam. Like those chain Bak Kut Teh shops. Just my opinion.
Thanks for pointing out that's why papparich wasn't in the 8. If u go to my address list at the end u would notice its listed as 3damansara. But if I mentioned the new name noone who understand
Maybe you'd like to consider to feature maybe just 1-2 restaurants / food in depth (history, background, price, more close ups, ingredients, location, etc) per video, rather than top 8 of *xxxx* all the time, that way you can stretch your videos and reduce time required to visit so many restaurants, also can reduce the money spent on the food.. Just a suggestion, maybe can try that out.. :)
Another winner, Uncle Lee we want you to continue to provide quality contents on the gastronomic scene in KL but we know it will also take some financial resource. Do you have a Patreon account where your loyal fans can support your endeavors? We know you are extremely modest when it comes to charity from friends or family but please do understand we appreciate good contents too and are willing to support you. I have seen and been part of a TH-cam community that gave and still gives to certain content creators on YT. Please consider it if you think it would be of help to you. Thank you.
We are looking for good food. I find your recommended restaurants are NOT good. And you are actually an advertiser. Your reviews are NOT genuine. I hope people share good experiences and Not mislead people.
Nobody has ever paid me to feature an outlet except for sponsors which only enjoy 3 mins of feature. Thanks to franchised kopitiams we can still enjoy the real tradition of the trade today. Old kopitiams r far and few

As always, an insightful episode and enjoyable to watch. Can't wait for the border to re-open to try your recommendations
over all good introduction and informative each vlog has several outlets to recommend
Dining at restaurants is not a daily affair for the average worker, so I appreciate your kopitiam reviews
I love the historical narratives!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Many thanks for the recommendations. Your weekly posts are very much welcomed. Hope your financial situation will improve soon.
Thanks wong at the moment still not encouraging

That's right Calvin traditional hainanese kopitian should d given more credit
Very interesting! So glad you’re healthy and can enjoy a variety of foods. As always, excellent video!

Another good video, just that the background music was too loud. The high pitch music is kind off irritating. :)
Agree +1
I am half hainanese plp thank you u promote hainan food to plp.nowaday already not so much hainan food in kl / pj.
Thanks chin my grandma was hainanese too. I used to lived in the 2nd floor of my uncle's kopitiam in Ipoh old town. They closed the shop in 80s
Yes totally agreed, Coffee & Toast is a good place to go for some really good food apart from their coffee and toast.
Pj sungai way 同協成茶室, public bank 旁边,雜飯好吃
如果背景音乐可以把它调小些会更好
谢谢
Hi Uncle Elmo, thanks for another great video! However, at 10:08 the kitchen staff of Coffee & Toast is not wearing mask!!
Oops I didn't noticed

Your background music gives me headache.... please dont use it again .....thank you
Too sad to learn that Tropicana City Mall is half closer to being a ghost town today. :(
Yes so kesian
Wanton& kopi of Good Taste @ Damansara Jaya is good .I eat a lot .
I love the historical background you give for the food in review. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I think Kopitiam in shopping centres or modern looking ones takes away the ambience of an old kopitiam. Like those chain Bak Kut Teh shops. Just my opinion.
I agree with u rajesh unfortunately there ain't much good traditional kopitiam left
I agree too. And I especially hate those Instagrammy 'kopitiams'.
中国在usj 有开分行,不知道还营业吗

Can’t wait to go back to Ipoh for good kopitiam food and drinks.
Let's hope the interstate will open in 2 weeks Adrian
Kopitiam...an everlasting love affair with coffee and toast...
Paparich already chap lap...Tropicana City Mall now is 3Damansara
Thanks for pointing out that's why papparich wasn't in the 8. If u go to my address list at the end u would notice its listed as 3damansara. But if I mentioned the new name noone who understand
try old KL kopitiam at cheras maluri
Oh Elmo, how about one on the 8 best chap fan in PJ?
Thanks but I've done chap fan 4 months ago
😋, I still prefer the coffee shop in Malaysia because I like the old coffee shop style.
So do I Christine but the traditional hainanese kopitiam is fading out. Sad
like the tv show for introduce food
Maybe next episode can make
1. Mamak stall
2. Dim sum shop
Thanks cheah dim sum was done about 4 months ago

香港人好奇一問,點解馬來西亞嘅咖啡杯大多數係一款青花嘅圖案?彷彿係馬來西亞特有圖案。
你好呢個問題問得好
聽我爺爺講原本呢個餐具都係來自南方大陸。因為價錢係便所以就只係用一個色來印。至於點解用綠色我就唔清楚了。因而每一間咖啡店都跟住訂了這些咁經濟的杯啦
@@malaysiafood328 oic...haha
One day, you can go to each city or town to introduce unique food or restaurant of them after exhausted of Idea of PJ...😁

Hi Sir, I'm your fan. Everything is good. But only the music is super super super annoying. Honestly.
Thanks I've apologized many times and even stated clearly in my intro notes

It looks like this guy is just doing an advertisement for those shops mentioned. His claims are not true. What a shame
What a shame, looks like ur favorite kopitiam werent featured thats why u were agitated. How silly
We are looking for good food. I find your recommended restaurants are NOT good. And you are actually an advertiser. Your reviews are NOT genuine. I hope people share good experiences and Not mislead people.

Hi Elmo the Hainan Joy in Taman Megah is the shop Halal
Sounds like YOU were paid by big names. Wasted my time see this video. Please show real kopitiam operated by owner, not bloody franchise !!!
Nobody has ever paid me to feature an outlet except for sponsors which only enjoy 3 mins of feature. Thanks to franchised kopitiams we can still enjoy the real tradition of the trade today. Old kopitiams r far and few
